BED IN A BOX

The temps are supposed to get down around 16 degrees tonight and I figured even the garage kitties would be cold. I have a lot of beds for them including padded kitty caves and one inside a dog crate but lately, they like sleeping on the big fluffy pillow against the wall between the garage and the house. It’s probably warmer because it’s an interior wall.

So I made them a little fleece-lined bed in a box.  I taped fleece around the inside of the box and put an old cat bed on the bottom. On top of that, I put a thermal cat bed, which is supposed to warm back up from body heat. I put it on a shelf and covered it with an old rug to kind of insulate it. 

I only put it out an hour ago and Midnight has made herself comfy. It’s not large but since they snuggle all the time, it’s plenty big and if they both go in at the same time, there won’t be a lot of extra space for cold air to circulate. Hopefully, Charley will crawl in before the night is over.
